Rocky Run closed, games moved to Carson (7B) and Hoop Magic (8B)

Due to testing for admission to Thomas Jefferson HS, school authorities at Rocky Run MS have unexpectedly closed the gym today (Saturday 1/23). As a result, the following games are being moved:

All 7th grade boys games originally schedulded at Rocky Run are being moved to Rachel Carson (ct 2) at the same scheduled times.

All 8th grade boys games originally scheduled at Rocky Run are being moved to Hoop Magic Sports Academy (14810 Murdock St, Chantilly). All games will remain at the same scheduled times expect the 11:30 game, which will now be played at 5:45 pm.

Please be aware that Hoop Magic is a private facility and has a $1 spectator fee for all non-players (over the age of 12) that is charged at the door. CYA has unsuccessfully tried to convince Hoop Magic to waive this fee so unfortunately parents will have to pay it.

We apologize for this inconvenience but unfortunately Rocky Run apparently neglected to notify the Recreation Department in advance.

DIRECTIONS TO HOOP MAGIC (from Chantilly HS)

1. Take Route 50 West for 3.1 miles (about 2 miles past the intersection with Route 28) to Stonecroft Blvd (look for Auto Park sign on your right).

2. Turn right on Stonecroft Blvd and take it for approximately 1/3 mile.

3. Turn left onto Murdock St. Facility is approximately 100 yards from intersection of Stonecroft and Murdock.
